In 1996, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway opened to full traffic. This steel artery, stretching from Beijing in the north to Kowloon in the south, cuts through the land, bridges mountains and seas, and forever broke down the barriers of time and space between Hong Kong and the mainland. It became a vital bridge for Hong Kong people to come to know and embrace their motherland.
Three decades have passed. Today, from Hong Kong, high-speed rail reaches Guangzhou in 48 minutes, connects to every major city in the Greater Bay Area within one hour, and arrives in Beijing in just eight hours — with direct service to over a hundred cities across the country. From a single line to an integrated network, from bumpy treks to seamless comfort, it mirrors our nation's rise, and the deepening bond between Hong Kong and the mainland.
